Collection:
Ornate Pens

This collection is more ornate than my regular ballpoint pens. Ballpoint pens use a thick oil based ink where the ball in the pen nib pushes the ink on to the paper. One can use it for months at a stretch and this was appealing to those who found filling in water ink every now and then in their fountain pens inconvenient. Since a ballpoint pen has a thick ink that does not evaporate easily a cap is not necessary for such pens. Usually, to close the nib, the pen is twisted or pushed so that the nib retracts into the body of the pen. Ballpoint ink is less likely to bleed through the paper and those who want a pen that lasts longer should go for a Ballpoint pen.
